adjusts. You can remove and reapply list formatting with the same method
as used in most text editors.
Use Automatic List Formatting
By default, list formatting is applied to all text that looks like a list. Text that
meets all the following criteria is considered to be a list:
■ The line begins with one or more letters or numbers or a symbol.
■ The letters or numbers is followed by punctuation.
■ A space after the punctuation is created by pressing Tab.
■ The text following the space is ended by Enter or Shift-Enter.
NOTE If you do not want list formatting applied to all text that fits the criteria,
clear the Allow Bullets and Lists option. (Right-click in the In-Place Text Editor,
click Bullets and Lists ➤ Allow Bullets and Lists.) When Allow Bullets and Lists is
not checked, you cannot create new formatted lists in the multiline text object.
To create a list, use one of the following methods:
■ Apply list formatting to new or selected text.
■ Use Auto-list (on by default) and type the elements of a list.
■ With Auto-list off, type the elements of a list and close and reopen the
editor to convert the text to a list.
Apply List Formatting
When you apply list formatting, you can specify bullets, uppercase or lowercase
letters, or numbers. Default settings are used for the type of list you choose.
Letters or numbers are followed by a period. Nested lists use a double bullet,
letter, or number. Items are indented based on the tab stops on the ruler in
the In-Place Text Editor.
Use Auto-list to Type a List
When Auto-list is on, you can create a list as you type. You can use letters,
numbers, or symbols.
For example, in the editor, enter \U+25CB, press Tab, and then enter some
text. This creates a empty circle style bullet.
